Rodarte x Opening Ceremony 2011 Spring/Summer Collection

In a short six years, Rodarte has achieved accolades many could only dream of. From designing for Olympic athletes to their recent role in the costumes for the movie Black Swan, Rodarte and Opening Ceremony teamed up once again in the creation of a Spring/Summer 2011 collection. While known predominately for their womenswear, Rodarte’s work seen here with menswear was not without its limitations noting, “It’s harder to make a jacket really beautifully done for men when you have so much freedom when you’re doing one for a woman. I feel like there’s a different set of rules somehow. Even if you could break them, they’re still there.” The collection will be available this week at Opening Ceremony locations in New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo as well as Barneys New York, Doors, Holt Renfrew, Podium in Moscow and DNA in Saudi Arabia.
